At the stop position, a supported body (Z) can be shifted at a retractable movement damper (F,G,H), with a mass or moment of inertia of the drive (D) and the component (2).  The movement damper has a pliable friction damper (F,G) and a return spring (H). The additional body (Z) is of a hard material and especially plastics, and a pliable material and especially a plastics cushion with soft elasticity such as a foam cushion mounted to it. At least two stop units are fitted with a linear or rotary gap between them. At each stop position, at least one shifting and supported additional body (Z) is at the movement damper (F,G,H), preferably a pair of symmetrical bodies (Z) in relation to the movement axis of the component (2). The mass or moment of inertia of the additional body (Z) is at least in the mass or moment of inertia of the drive, and the component (2), at least one working member with the component and a limit stop (29) in the movement path on the body (Z) or, on a paired assembly, it is half their values. The drive (D) is a linear or rotating electromotor (M) with an armature coupled to the component (2). The additional body (Z), with a rotating electromotor, has at least the moment of inertia of the armature and the component (2) and the armature shaft if required and, with a linear electromotor, has at least the mass of the armature and the component (2) and the armature shaft if required.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method and apparatus to correct for gradient
field distortions. The invention is particularly applicable in moving table
imaging where a single extended image is desirable. The invention includes
acquiring MR data (208) in motion in the presence of gradient non-linearities,
transforming the MR data acquired into the image domain (214, 216, 218),
and then applying a warping correction function (220) to the transformed MR
data. The warp-corrected MR data is then corrected for motion induced
during the MR acquisition (222, 224). The data may be acquired point-by-point,
line-by-line, or another sub-portion of the entire MR data acquired, and
processed to minimize the amount of motion correction needed. Based on
table velocity or acquisition sequence applied, the data is partitioned based on
a common motion correction factor, and after correcting for motion, the data is
accumulated to build up a final image (226).

Abstract: Method and system for performing event detection and object tracking in image streams by installing in field, a set of image acquisition devices, where each device includes a local programmable processor for converting the acquired image stream that consist of one or more images, to a digital format, and a local encoder for generating features from the image stream. These features are parameters that are related to attributes of objects in the image stream. The encoder also transmits a feature stream, whenever the motion features exceed a corresponding threshold. Each image acquisition device is connected to a data network through a corresponding data communication channel. An image processing server that determines the threshold and processes the feature stream is also connected to the data network. Whenever the server receives features from a local encoder through its corresponding data communication channel and the data network, the server provides indications regarding events in the image streams by processing the feature stream and transmitting these indications to an operator.
